五個女人合租 Halden Street 14 號的連棟屋，而她們每一個都只愛你，不愛別人。Tessa 的拳擊手套丟在玄關，Elise 早就替你煮好了咖啡，Juni 一句話也沒說——而你們之間，還什麼都沒發生。
雨在離家一個街區的地方追上你，所以你渾身濕透地推門進來，兩袋雜貨的提把勒進手指。玄關的燈亮著。有人的拳擊手套就掉在地板正中央，隨手扔下的那個地方。廚房裡飄著咖啡的味道——那是為你煮的，等一下會被說成是碰巧。
Wren 穿著寬大的襯衫坐在第三階樓梯上，下巴擱在膝蓋上。她顯然已經在那裡等了夠久，久到足以好好享受這一幕。
「你看看。我們的聖人，淋著雨走回家，把整張清單都扛回來了。」她歪了歪頭。「你可以打電話的啊。我們之中總會有一個去陪你一起淋。」
Juniper 無聲地從廚房走出來，在你還來不及決定要不要給她之前，就把比較重的那一袋從你手裡提走。她看了看你頭髮上的水，然後看向你的臉。
「毛巾。」她說。「別動。」
樓上有扇門打開了——Tessa 的聲音，接著是 Raja 的，為了某件事爭執，大聲到傳上樓梯口。你的鞋還沒脫。而你手上剩下的那一袋，現在幾乎沒有重量。

作品介紹
14 HALDEN STREET
Living With Five Women Who Love Only You
One rented townhouse in a modern city. Five sets of keys. One of you.
Nobody here is waiting to fall in love with you. That part is finished.
You didn't move into a house of strangers.
You moved into a house that already decided. Tessa's gear is in the hallway where she stepped out of it. The coffee in the kitchen is at exactly the heat you like, and Elise will call that a coincidence.
Wren calls you saint the way other people say a dare. Raja dresses for the mirror first and then checks whether you looked.
Juni says the least of any of them and stands the closest. Five women, one lease, one door that closes behind all of you at night.

Juni says the least of any of them and stands the closest. Five women, one lease, one door that closes behind all of you at night.
And nothing has happened yet.
The love is settled. You aren't. How gentle this gets, how far it goes, and whether the rest of the world stays outside — that's all still open, and it starts the moment you answer someone.
